I talked about it in Woody's last film, "Manhattan Murders," which was Woody's ground-breaking milestone. In "Crime and Wrong," the doctor instructs the killer to kill his lover, showing a major breakthrough in the plot element of Woody Allen's "extramarital affair", but it is a serious, dull drama film. In "Manhattan Murder," Woody fuses marital conflicts with the plot of murder detectives to tell interesting stories. In "Bullets Over Broadway" Woody finally made a perfect dramatic film . This film can take into account the balance of drama, comedy, and philosophical art discussion, and finally perfectly interpret the film with the plot story as the core. It can be said that "Bullets Over Broadway" marks Woody's complete peak in the theme of "philosophical stories of romantic life". A gangster killer is an artistic genius who can murder bad actors for artistic perfection. Woody has perfected the cinematic approach to dramatic narrative, where he can naturally incorporate great drama into a story film. It's a sign that Woody, 59, is fully mature in his own cinematic artistry.
Apart from those art, philosophical discussions, and photography skills, the best thing about "Bullets Over Broadway" is that it simply masquerades each actor, so that the audience can quickly sort out the positioning and relationship of each character. This approach is especially worthy of reference in multi-character drama films.
My 5 favorite Woody movies up until this point are:
1977 "Annie Hall"
1996 "Bullets Across Broadway"
1969 "Fool in Prison",
1983 "Xili Biography"
1980 "Stardust Once Upon a Time"
